Physiological and pathological brain aging plays a central role in brain networks modulation. The aim of the present paper was to assess the stability of a proposed method for the evaluation of Small World (SW) characteristics for the study of Human Connectome. 80 subjects were recruited 36 young healthy controls, 32 elderly healthy controls, and 12 patients affected by Alzheimer's disease. Electroencephalograms (EEG) were recorded during six separate sessions (480 recordings) at an average inter-session interval of 3.8±0.2 days. Graph theory functions were applied to the undirected and weighted networks obtained by the lagged linear coherence evaluated by exact Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (eLORETA). Were explored the following frequency bands delta (2-4Hz), theta (4-8Hz), alpha1 (8-10.5Hz), alpha2 (10.5-13Hz), beta1 (13-20Hz), beta2 (20-30Hz) and gamma (30-40Hz). The proposed method for the evaluation of Small World (SW) characteristics showed good reproducibility and stability. Furthermotterns estimated from EEG. The proposed method for the evaluation of the characteristics of the Small World (SW) has shown good reproducibility and stability and applied to patient data, this technique could provide more information on the pathophysiological processes underlying the age-related brain disconnection, as well as on the administration of rehabilitation treatments at the right time that could allow to avoid unnecessary interventions.Daily living activities and tasks like standing forward reaching present complex Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs), and an objective, repeatable, subject- and task-dependent procedure to detect Voluntary Movements (VM) and APAs onsets is still missing. This paper proposes a new approach to the VMs study, based on a functional mechanical interpretation of the movement performing, which allows defining kinematic and dynamic APAs. A protocol for the identification of VMs and APAs onsets in the reaching movement is presented. Acquired data on 9 healthy young subjects enable a preliminary validation of this method suitability as support for an objective quantification of APAs. High-grade acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation injuries (Rockwood type IV or V) are surgically indicated because of complete disruption of the AC and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments, leading to instability and pain. In surgical techniques that require a suspensory system, coracoid tunnel-related complications are not uncommon. To report subjective and objective clinical outcomes and complication rates of a modified coracoid tunnel-free CC sling technique combined with CC ligament remnant preservation for a minimum 2-year follow-up. Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Between January 2014 and January 2017, we prospectively enrolled patients who underwent a modified CC sling technique performed by 1 senior surgeon using the AC TightRope System in a coracoid tunnel-free fashion. The CC distance (CCD) and Rockwood AC joint classification were evaluated on radiographs preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at the final follow-up. The visual analog pain score, range of motion, American Shoulderrovement regarding both clinical and radiological outcomes, with a reduction loss rate of 8.3%. It is a safe method that could achieve satisfactory result without any coracoid drilling-related complications. The coracoid tunnel-free CC sling technique using the AC TightRope System combined with CC ligament remnant preservation demonstrated significant improvement regarding both clinical and radiological outcomes, with a reduction loss rate of 8.3%. It is a safe method that could achieve satisfactory result without any coracoid drilling-related complications.This study aims to evaluate the mechanical performance of custom 3D-printed titanium plates in the treatment of distal humerus fractures.
